It has nothing to do with us going after and attaining James Harden and this regarding Kyrie and when he when he will be hopefully back and rejoining the team you're part of that is going up to the N B A and and we're waiting for them to come out with.

So their ruling on the health and safety protocols Hopefully, we'll have a ruling soon.

You know, I have talked to Kyrie, so I know he's excited about getting back on the court with his teammates, you know, a soon as possible, you know, without a doubt I'm not going to shy away from.

Without a doubt, the organization's disappointed with not having you know, any one of our players in this particular case, Kyrie Not not amongst us not, you know, you know, in the trenches, with us and so forth.

So, um, you know, I don't want to speculate.

And so why he's out and so forth?

We have got to support, whether it's our players or whether it's our staff, and you would do that in any industry.

But, um, you know You also hope there is a on adequate, more than adequate excuse us toe like why he needs personal time.

You hope there is a more than adequate excuse as to why he needs personal time.

That was next, GM Sean Marks, addressing the absence of Kyrie Irving due to personal reasons.

Guys, let's assume Kyrie comes back.

Sean also said today he's that Kyrie is very excited to come back.

It is up to the league, of course, to see when he can come back with covert protocols.

But if we look at the new Big Three in action in the last 10 seasons on Lee, eight players have scored more than 1000 points in the clutch.

Guess what, out of the eight, the Nets now have three of them, and Katie missed the whole season.

So big shot Rob, who should take the big shot?

The last shot.

If they're all three on the court, you have to go with Katie.

His skill set is by far above those guys not saying a lot because he's 7 ft tall with the handles of Kyrie with the shooting ability of James.

So you've got all three rolled in one.

So you give the ball to K D and get out the way.

That's all you gotta do.

I remember playing with Houston getting the logical.

You said, What play do you won't give the dream and get up that way?

That's what you do when you have a player like that.

Okay, here, let me answer the question.

Steph.

Greatest shooter of all time.

Clay Thompson.

One of greatest shooters of all time.

Who was the guy that you wanted to take?

The last shot?

Kevin Durant.

He was the guy.

Now I'm James Harden and you got Kyrie Irving Monsters.

Kyrie is hit One of the biggest shots in NBA history.

Kevin Durant is the guy that you want taking that last shot whenever possible.

Now you can't double them.

You can't have them because you've got to other monsters on both sides, right?

So it's like, you know, and a lot of it.

The last shot is about making the right play.

So if you send to people at him, you got James Harden and you got you got Kyrie.

Look, that's one of the biggest shots that has ever been taken on a basketball court.

in NBA history, right?

Nailed it easy, just walks off.

So I just think it really and truly, it's Kevin Durant.

If he was the best, if he was the one that you wanted on those Golden State Warriors team, he's definitely the guy that you want on this.

Houston Rockets are on.

The Brooklyn Nets are used to the Brooklyn Nets team.

And look, we know they're all gonna have big shots, right?

That's the quality of these players.

As you say, It depends on the defense.

Which shot do you think is either more guard herbal or harder to guard?

However you want to phrase it.

James Harden, Step back.

Three.

He's a little sidestep sometimes now to or the Kevin Durant shot where he's just up over you.

In a way, that is.

I mean, we've had some of the great defenders in this league over the last 10 years just say that when Kevin Durant lines up, he's not garble.

You can't teach tall like that's what they told us all the time.

You can't take that.

Which, which one?

That's one.

Do you think that Kevin Durant, that's more later?

That's more lethal.

Yeah, because you could get someone that's either a stall is Jamie's quick who can get to that shot.

But there's nobody as tall as Katie that can get to that shot.

So, Katie, like I even take you the Manu Ginobili swat from behind, You know, against the Rockets like you can kind of try and figure out ways to get that done with Kevin Durant.

He's like Dirk Nowitzki.

You're not blocking his shot.

You're not blocking a 7 ft Hi Release High.

Our king shot.

It is happening history, but it ain't getting behind.

Yeah, it is pretty remarkable to keep just saying this because this team is really now as opposed to months of speculation.

You have two guys with two of the most unguardable shots in the game on the same team, Kyrie, who can be unguardable around the basket.

I mean, Richard, you saw that up close, right?

He's unguardable and pretty much everywhere.

Right, this handle, all right, but it's just Yeah, it's different.

You're talking about two seconds ago, three seconds ago.

Knock it down, right?

So it's just it's going to be a remarkable display and I think who takes the last shot maybe just solved by licking their lips.

Yeah, Poor West Matthews E.
